नमस्कार. This is a space for knowing about Advaita or Non-Duality.
Every being seeks happiness. Inspite of incessant search, most of us do not find real happiness. Yet we get a glimpse of this happiness and serenity in our deep sleep.This experience certainly proves that happiness is with in Self, which is our true nature. The main obstacle in realizing this innate bliss of the self in our waking state is our ego or personality (assumed 'I').
Advaita Vedanta clearly shows us the way to realize this innate happiness.
The opening verse in the Avadhuta Gita says:
ईश्वरानुग्रहादेव पुम्समद्वैतवसना
'Through grace of God alone the desire for nonduality arises in wise men to save them from fear'
न तव एवाहं जातु नाशं
न त्वं नेमे जनाधिपाः
न चैव न भविष्यामः
सर्वे वयं अतः परम्
Bhagavad Gita II.12 E
In fact, there was never a time when I was not or when you or these kings were not. Nor is ot a fact that hereafter we shall all cease to be.

Better than advertised. Extremely clean. Welcoming, helpful staff. Stayed 6 days; were upgraded to a suite after first night. Breakfast offered decent selection and of good quailty. Locale is what we sought, in Chiado, next to Bairo Alto, on one of Lisbon's original 7 hills No public lounge area, but not an issue with the suite. Would happily return when we are next in Lisbon.

This Bed&Breakfast was ideal for a 4-days stay in Lisbon. It's perfectly located in a quiet street but very close to restaurants, bars and shops. There are 2 metro stations 300 meters away, and it's only 100 meters from the "Santa Justa" elevator. The breakfast in the hotel was excellent, with many different sweet or salty pastries.

As a female business traveler, I try to choose rooms in smaller hotels for charm, but I still desire great services. The hotel was located in a great neighborhood. The room and hotel were both charming. The room, as with virtually all older European rooms, was small, but it was designed so as not to be cramped. The bed was comfortable, the room beautiful and amenities just as promised, including delicious take-away breakfast when my flight left too early to take advantage of their on-site breakfast. Other amenities that put in on my top list: a shower head high enough for tall people, a hair drier that actually works, and great toiletries, including hand lotion. I would definitely stay again, it was a great value for the money!

Hi guys! Great site, lots of info.
I have some tech. question to which im unable to locate the answer. I read several guide/how-to on here but the info can easily get very overwhelming and i get lost.
I was not able to locate my answers in the guides. So here we go!
1- Does an mp4/avi file that has a size of approx. 600-700mb fit on a cd (vcd/svcd)? I asked this because when i try to create the said cd, the size it takes goes from 700mb to about 1.4G. I do remember however, making a cd that was about 600mb that did fit on a cd with 600mb. I dont understand while these other would not work the same. I then tried to make a DVD of the said mp4/avi file, and to my surprise, actually wants to take the whole space avail on the disc (4.7G).
So my question on this - is this normal? Why does this happen?
2- Follow up to above question - can you put several videos on cd/dvd and play them on a regular dvd player? I dont see how this would be possible since i am no longer able to put a 600mb file on a regular cd. If i understand correctly, you can make a data cd and put your avi/mp4 files on the disc and would only use the actual file size on the disc, and play them on a dvd player that supports divx/xvid correct?
I hope im clear on what i tried to explain!
Thanks for the help!

Results 1 to 6 of 6
1) Whatever you are using to "create" the CD is actually converting it, probably to DVD format. Yes, you can burn MP4 and AVI files to CD discs if they are small enough to fit. You just have to burn a data disc. I'd suggest that you junk whatever you are using and learn how to burn with ImgBurn. It's free. You just need to burn your files to disc and it can do that without conversion.
2) Yes, BUT... and it's a big "but"... it depends on what format you use and whether or not your DVD player supports it. If your DVD player supports AVI or MP4 (MP4 support is rare), then you just burn as many as will fit on a disc. We have a sticky here that describes some Divx (that's AVI) encoding options that can cause playback problems on some DVD players:
Any videos you have that use these options might have playback problems on a DVD player. Or you can convert videos to DVD format and that will work but the more videos you try to convert, the lower the quality will be. A tool like ConvertXtoDVD might be useful to someone starting out. -
The size of your mp4/avi is dependant on two things - the play length of the video and the compression ratio of the video and audio codecs. The higher the data rate of the compression = the larger the file.
A program like autogk has some presets ie 1 CD (700 mb) 2 CD (1400 mb).
If your file is only 700 mb then it will fit on to a CD.
However, a DVD is using a different compression system with much higher data rates. One hour at 8000 kbps is going to fill that 4 gig disk. Two hours at 4000 kbps will also fill the same disk.
But, if you are making xVID/Divx CDs then you can fill a CD up to it's capacity and play the files in a compatable player. -
Ah got it now guys! Thanks!
BTW Jman, im using Nero for my burning purposes. Its the only one ive ever used for any burning needs. I just did not fully understand what was happening exactly. Especially since i *was* able to burn 1 avi file to vcd on regular cd that did play on my dvd player. I understand now that alot factors come into play as to how the file is handled in nero. The thing is i was trying to make a VCD out of the file while choosing "cd" option in nero.
So is it normal then that the same 600-700mb file becore 4.7G once choosing the DVD authoring option? I used Nero Vision to create the dvd out of the mp4/avi files - which i like because i could do menus and and audio and such. -
Simple math will give you your answer:
Filesize = bitrate x runtime.
Lower bitrate --> smaller file (but lower quality, too)
Shorter movie --> smaller file -
Hopefully, this will shed a little more light...
Audio & Video files all follow the same formula:
Length (of time) * Bitrate = Filesize
1. CD (Audio Mode) - 2352 bytes/sector
2. CD (Data XA Mode2F2) - 2324 bytes/sector (this is what's used on the media tracks of (S)VCDs)
3. CD (Data Mode 1) - 2048 bytes/sector
4. DVD, BD (All discs are = Data Mode1) - 2048 bytes/sector
And the (usual/average) # of sectors available on a disc works out to:
**Note that this is an average, which depends upon variations in the manufacturing process of both pressable and burnable (dye or phase-change) discs**
You can do the math and figure out that:
1. Audio CDs hold ~807MB max
2. (S)VCDs hold a little less than ~797MB max (there's a Filesystem track with some overhead)
3. Data CDs hold ~703MB max
4. SL DVDs hold ~4.37GB max
5. DL DVDs hold ~7.95GB max
6. SL BDs hold ~23.3GB max
7. DL BDs hold ~46.61GB max
For Audio CDs and VCDs which have a CONSTANT bitrate, it makes much more sense to just think of these discs in terms of time length (# Minutes), which in both of these above cases = ~80Min.
Since all the others are DATA, and whether AUTHORED (which requires certain formats, codecs and bitrate constraints) or not, they will follow that first formula mentioned above. This is just a basic "do all these files add up to less than the max available?" type of question. And, of course, all these would be burned in DATA mode, whether authored or not.
The problem with some burning software is that they sometimes make some assumptions:
1. You want a "consumer-friendly" type of format, like AudioCD, VCD, or authored DVD-Video
2. You want their software to do all the conversion to get your stuff into that format (and possibly make all the decisions).
That's why people are recommending ImgBurn, etc vs. Nero. It doesn't make those assumptions or try to do anything you don't tell it to do.

uncanny coincidence
By Diogenes (articles ) | May 05, 2010
It's not often that your Uncle Di has occasion to report the news from Park City, Utah. So what are the odds that when a priest there criticizes the Vatican for its handling of the sex-abuse problem, he just happens to be the same Father Bob Bussen who, some months back, was blaming the Vatican for its attitude toward homosexuality?
Pure coincidence, I'm sure. The two issues-- repeat after me-- are entirely unrelated.

Uncle Di, what's the chance that we might ever know what percentage of ordained and "practicing" priests are, like "Father Bob", ticking time bombs in our midst, awaiting the time to explode? Wasn't it the Miami Diocese that was said to have such a widespread problem with homosexual priests that if they were removed from the ministry, 70% of the parishes would be without a pastor?

I can connect any user using SQL*plus even with no listener running.
You only bypass the listener when you connect as sysdba*. Ordinary connections through SQLPlus still use the listener. As for how it does it, there is a special mechanism for this kind of connection, which allows a database to be administered without a working listener.

Australian Researchers Use HIV to Prevent AIDS
Australian scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research say they have found a way to use the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, to prevent AIDS, describing the technique as "fighting fire with fire."

 Senior researcher David Harrich has designed a way to modify a protein in HIV to alter the virus so that it provides long-lasting, and possibly permanent, protection against AIDS, the disease that HIV causes.

 In his experiments, Harrich altered a protein that is a critical component of all living cells and includes many substances, among them - antibodies and hormones - which would usually help the virus to grow. Instead, the modified protein helps to prevent the virus from replicating or spreading.

 Patients would still be infected with HIV, said Harrich, but it would not develop into AIDS.

 "This therapy is potentially a cure for AIDS. So it's not a cure for HIV infection, but it potentially could end the disease. [That's] because the immune system that protects you from opportunistic infections that normally is the cause of AIDS is actually the opportunistic infection, not the HIV, because your immune system becomes run down," explained Harrich. "So this protein present in immune cells would help to maintain a healthy immune system so that patients would be able to handle normal infections."

 The study is published in the journal Human Gene Therapy.

 Harrich's team conducted the experiments in a laboratory. Thorough testing on animals is needed before any human trials can begin. They are scheduled to start later this year.

 In Australia, more than 30,000 people have been diagnosed with HIV. Without treatment they will develop AIDS. According to the World Health Organization, 2.5 million people were newly infected with HIV in 2011. It is estimated that 1.7 million people died that year from the virus.

 Harrich said he believes his new therapy could make a difference to millions of people.

 "I think what people are looking for is basically a means to go on and live happy and productive lives with as little intrusion as possible." he said. "And so, you know, the only way you can do that is one, you either have to eliminate the virus infection, or alternatively, you have to eliminate the disease process. And that's what this could do, potentially for a very long time."

 Using a therapy based on a single protein could end multiple drug regimes for HIV patients, meaning a better quality of life and lower costs.

 However, scientists say that creating a drug that turns HIV against itself would be challenging and Australian researchers conceded that there were still "many hurdles to clear."<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.voanews.com/content/researchers-use-hiv-to-prevent-aids/1585682.html"/><meta name="syndication-source" content="http://www.voanews.com/content/researchers-use-hiv-to-prevent-aids/1585682.html"/>

Emergency call logs show that nearly eight minutes elapsed between when a social worker called emergency services to report that Josh Powell's children were in danger and when sheriff's deputies were dispatched.
It took another 14 minutes for a deputy to get to the home, but by then, the home was engulfed in flames with Powell and his two young sons inside.
The Associated Press obtained the logs on Wednesday night under a public records request.
Recently released audio tapes of the emergency services calls raised questions about the dispatch centre's handling of the social worker's calls. She detailed how Powell, the husband of a missing Utah woman, had locked her out of the house during what was supposed to be a supervised visit with his sons.
Minutes later, Powell torched the home, killing himself and the boys.
The recordings showed that the man who took the worker's emergency services call engaged in nearly seven minutes of questioning that ended with him saying he didn't know how long it would be before deputies could respond.
The audio didn't make clear when the deputies were dispatched. The logs show that apparently happened about a minute after the call ended.
Authorities said it seemed unlikely a quicker response could have saved the boys, who had also been attacked with a hatchet.
The logs show the social worker called emergency services from her cellphone at 12-08 p.m. on Sunday. Five minutes later, the man who took her call transferred the information to a dispatcher, who alerted two deputies about 2 1/2 minutes later, at 12-16.
But at precisely that time, calls began pouring in to report explosions at the house apparently from the gas-fueled inferno blowing out windows.
Deputies arrived on scene at 12-30 to find the home engulfed in flames.
Pierce County sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer said his department was disappointed in the manner of the initial call-taker, saying it left the impression that help wasn't immediately on the way. But he said he did not believe the conversation created any unnecessary delays.
"Are we unhappy with the etiquette and the manner? Yes," Troyer said. "Did it affect the response time? No. Dispatchers are typing information and addresses while they're on the phone with callers."
It took almost two minutes from the start of the call for the dispatcher to learn Powell's address and more than three minutes to understand that she was there to supervise a child custody visit. Near the end of the call, she asked how long before officers could get there.
"I don't know, ma'am," he said. "We have to respond to emergency life-threatening situations first."
She responded- "This could be life-threatening ... I'm afraid for their lives!"
The agency that runs the call centre said it would review the handling of the case and start a disciplinary investigation if necessary.
Powell's wife, Susan, vanished in Utah two years ago. He has long been a person of interest but maintained at the time that he had taken his boys then 2 and 4 camping in freezing temperatures.
The social worker had driven the Powell boys, 5 and 7, from their grandparents' home to their father's house outside Puyallup on Sunday. Josh Powell lost custody of the boys last fall, after his father, with whom they then lived, was arrested in a child pornography and voyeurism investigation.
When they arrived at the house for a regular supervised visit with their dad, the boys ran into the house, and Powell slammed the door in the social worker's face, locking it.
She called her supervisor and emergency services using her cellphone, reaching the call centre in Tacoma, about 10 miles away from Powell's house just outside Puyallup, authorities said.
In the first minutes of her first emergency services call, the woman quickly laid out the situation-
"Something really weird has happened. The kids went into the house and the parent the biological parent whose name is Josh Powell will not let me in the door. What should I do?
"... I could hear one of the kids crying, and he still wouldn't let me in."
Nearly 20 seconds into the call, the dispatcher asked her for the address. The social worker didn't know and needed to look for it. It took her about 90 seconds to find it in her car.
At one point, she asked, "You can't find me by GPS?"
Pierce County, the second largest in the state and home to about 800,000 people, has an enhanced emergency services system that is designed to give police an approximate location of a cellphone caller. It wasn't immediately clear if the call centre used that feature to locate the social worker.
While she was still looking for the address, she said, "But I think I need help right away."
The dispatcher proceeded to question her repeatedly about who she was and her role.
"Who is there to exercise the visitation?" he asked.
"I am," she said. "The visit is with Josh Powell. And he's the husband of ..."
"And who's supervising?" he asked.
"I supervise."
"So you supervise and you're doing the visit? You supervise yourself?" he asked.
"I supervise myself. I'm the supervisor here."
"Wait a minute. If it's a supervised visit, you can't supervise yourself if you're the visitor."
After getting it straight, the dispatcher told her- "We'll have somebody look for you there."
"OK, how long will it be?" the woman asked.
That's when the dispatcher responded by saying he didn't know.
Moments later, the house erupted in flames.
The woman screamed in a separate call- "He exploded the house!"
Authorities also released a emergency services call Josh Powell's sister made on Sunday, saying she received emails from her brother explaining what to do with his property and saying he couldn't live without his sons.
Alina Powell told a dispatcher she feared her brother was going to do something because of pressure he faced after his wife, Susan, disappeared two years ago in Utah. Authorities considered him a "person of interest" in the case. It's unclear what time Alina Powell's emergency services call was on Sunday, but it appears the dispatcher had some knowledge of who Josh Powell was.
Crying, Alina Powell told the dispatcher- "I'm terrified to drive over there. I'm not afraid of him. He's never hurt me. I'm afraid of seeing something I don't want to see."

July 15, 1 909-March 29, 1980
WILLIAM GEMMELL COCHRAN was born into modest
circumstances on July 15, 1909, in Rutherglen, Scot-
land. His father, Thomas, the eldest of seven children, had
begun his lifetime employment with the railroad at the age
of thirteen. The family, consisting of Thomas, his wife ican-
nie, and sons Oliver and William, moved to Gourock, a hol
iciay resort town on the Firth of Clyde, when William was six,
and to Glasgow ten years later.
Oliver has colorful recollections of their childhood. At age
five, Willie (pronounced Wully), as he was known to family
and friends, was hospitalizecI for a burst appendix, and his
life hung in the balance for a day. But soon he was home,
wearying his family with snatches of German taught him by
a German patient in his nursing-home warcI. Willie hacI a
knack for hearing or reacting something and remembering
it. Oliver recalls that throughout his life, Willie wouIcl walk
or sit around reciting poems, speeches, advertisements, mu-
sic hall songs, and in later life oratorios anc! choral works he
was learning.
Until Willie was sixteen, the family livect in an apartment
known in ScotIand as a "two room and kitchen" a parIor-
cum-ctining room (usect on posh occasions, about twelve
times a year), a bedroom usect by the parents, and a kitchen.

In the kitchen foot! was prepared, cooked, served, and eaten;
dishes were washed, laundry done, friends entertained, anct
homework accomplishecI. It was also the boys' bedroom in
the form of an alcove-with-bed known as "the-hole-in-the-
wall." The boys had a happy chilc~hoocI, with mile-Ion" walks
to and from public school twice a clay (lunch was eaten at
home) anc! play at the oceanside.
Willie was a great achiever in school, usually coming in
first. Oliver feels he hac! an irresistible urge to be first, often
calculating closely just how much he would have to do to gain
that enct. Oliver recalls being worrier! about passing a profes-
sional exam and having Willie say to him: "l don't know what
on earth you're worrying about; you only have to pass, ~ have
to be first." He was referring to the Bursary Competition,
open to all scholars in Scotland. And he was first, winning
his fees to Glasgow University. Later he was in an even larger
competition for the George A. Clark Scholarship, which pro-
videcI support for four years and paid his Cambridge fees.
Without winning these competitions, he almost assuredly
wouIcl not have been able to attend either Glasgow or Cam-
Willie tract no absorbing hobbies as a boy, although he
dabble(1 in many things. Cycling, hiking, ant! walking in the
hills were his chief physical activities. Later, studying and
reading became primary. His scholastic prowess won him
many books as prizes and created an extensive home library.
Cochran graduated with the M.A. from Glasgow in 1931
with first class honors in mathematics and natural philosophy
(physics) and shared the Logan Medal for the most distin-
guishe(1 graduate in the Arts Faculty. That same year he en-
terec] St. John's College, Cambridge, anct stuclied for the
mathematics tripos (mathematics major) as a prelude to be-
coming a research student. As an elective, he chose a new
OCR for page 60
course, Mathematical Statistics, taught by John Wishart. A
fellow student believes that the Great Depression had inter-
estect him in the work of a Dr. Mess, who advocated thorough
mathematical investigation of economic problems. He was
doubtless also influenced by R. A. Fisher's work at this time.
By now he hac} dropped the use of Willie, and among his
colleagues he was known as Bill.
Bill was persuaclect by Frank Yates to leave Cambridge
without his doctorate to accept a position, a rare opportunity
in the depression year of 1934, to do practical research at
Rothamstec] Experimental Station. Cochran never die! re-
ceive an earned doctorate, although he received honorary
degrees from The University of Glasgow (1970) ante
Johns Hopkins University (19751.
During his six years at Rothamstect, Cochran pioneered
with Yates in cleveloping techniques for analyzing replicatecl
anc! long-term agricultural experiments and for assessing the
effects of weather patterns on crop yielcis. They also studied
selection effects in non-ranclom sampling.
At RothamstecI, Cochran gainer! a great deal of practical
experience anct became well known in his fielcI. In 1937 he
marries! Betty I. M. Mitchell, a plant pathologist.
After visiting Iowa State College (now University) in Ames
in 1938, Cochran agreed to return there the following year
to teach. The imminence of war in 1939 made him hesitate
to leave Europe, but he felt he must keep his worct. Uncler
George Snedecor, in 1939 {owe State was a center for statis-
tical treatment of experimental work at a time when mocl-
ern applied statistics had little foothold in America. The em-
phasis in applied statistics at Iowa was then on sample surveys
anct experimental design. Cochran lectured on both topics in
his first quarter, and these lecture notes matured over the
next ten years into his two well-known texts on these topics.

Two of Cochran's three children were born in Ames, Eliza-
beth in 1940 and Alexander Charles in 1942.
In 1943-44 Cochran took leave to join the Princeton Sta-
tistical Research Group at Princeton University as a research
mathematician. He was to work on Army-Navy research
problems, including naval warfare and a survey of bomb ef-
ficiency, for the Office of Scientific Research and Develop
At Iowa State, Cochran ant! Gertrude Cox initiated their
collaboration, which culminated in their book Experimental
Design, published in 1950. In 1946, at Cox's instigation, Coch-
ran left Iowa to organize and head the graduate program in
experimental statistics at North Carolina State College at Ra-
leigh. Cox envisioned this program as half of the Institute of
Statistics, the second part consisting of a Department of
Mathematical Statistics at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, headed by Haroict Hotelling. The Cochran's
third child, Theresa, was born in North Carolina in 1946.
In January 1949 the Cochrans moved to Baltimore, where
Bill became head of the Department of Biostatistics in the
School of Hygiene and Public Health at The Johns Hopkins
University. Here his interest in medical and health problems
increased. Bill published a second book, Sampling Techniques
(19531. His two books along with his 1967 revision, at Sne-
decor's request, of Snedecor's Statistical Methods-became im-
portant reference texts and were widely translatecI. Statistical
Methods is one of the most wiclely cited books in the scientific
In 1957 the Department of Statistics was organized at
Harvarc! University, and Cochran joined the stab, remaining
nineteen years until he became professor emeritus in 1976.
During his time at Harvarcl, his continual interest in biosta-
tistics was reflected in his interaction with the Department of
Biostatistics in the Harvard School of Public Health.

In discussing Cochran's scientific work, we open with his
most famous theorem, anc! follow with selections of his work
on the design and analysis of comparative investigations, with
both experiments ant! comparative observational studies.
After an overview of his work on counter! ciata, we present
some of his contributions to the theory ancT practice of
sample surveys, follower! by brief mention of other areas of
work. With a few exceptions, we emphasize his advice and
philosophy rather than the details of his technical work.
Cochran's first paper (1934), a mixture of algebra and
analysis, brought into mathematical statistics an extremely
valuable and widely used result, now called Cochran's Theo-
rem: ~ Let Xj, j = ~ ,2, . . . ,p, be inclepenclent stanciarc! normal
ranclom variables with sum of squares Q. Let Q be clecom-
posect into the sum of k quadratic forms Q2, where Qi has
rank ri, i = I,2, . . . ,k. Then if one of the following three
conditions hoIcis, so clo the other two: (a) ~ ri = p, (b) each
i = ~
Qi has a chi-squarecl distribution, and (c) each Qi is indepen-
dent of every other.
Cochran (1934) himself exploited this result to show that
analysis of variance can be extenclec] to a variety of situations
requiring adjustment for covariates.

agriculture and biomeclical research. At Rothamstec! he ex

posited new clevelopments in lattice designs, attributing the
general method to Frank Yates. These clesigns help breeders
of wheat, soybeans, corn, and small grains by permitting
comparisons of large numbers of varies es (squares being
preferable, such as 49, 64, 8l, 100, ...~. He compares the
performance of these designs with that of others (1941a,
194 1 b, 1 943b).
Along with the descriptions of the methods and their
strengths and weaknesses, Cochran continually emphasized
the computational effort required in the analysis and the im-
portance of being able to communicate the ideas to the in-
vestigator. Why shouIc] the half-day or day of calculation
required for the analysis be of much concern when an agri-
cultural investigation has already required considerable land
for much of a season and several workers to carry it out?
Perhaps Cochran realizect that a computation that took him
half a clay might leave a breeder helpless. He was therefore
eager to reassure the breeder of its feasibility. Indeed, he said
(1941a, p. 355), "Extra complication in the statistical analysis
may be a drawback to the widespread use of a design in other
respects. If the experimenter floes not clearly unclerstand the
assumptions involved in the statistical manipulations, or the
reasons for them, he loses confidence in the final results of
the calculations."
In several papers, Cochran gave substantial reviews in-
tended to guide experimentation in specialized subject mat-
ters. For example, just before leaving the United Kingdom
for the U.S.A., he presented a major review paper (1939a)
on the design and analysis of long-term agricultural experi-
ments that won plaudits during discussion from Sir John
Russell, R. A. Fisher, l. Wishart, F. Yates, M. S. Bartlett, M. G.
Kendall, and H. O. Hartley. Cochran clealt not only with for-
mal design and analysis considerations but also with impor-
tant features of the practical execution of these trials in the
OCR for page 60
fielct: size and shape of plots, numbers of replications, choices
of stratification or blocks, heacIlands and guard rows between
plots, ant] the value of a year or two of a uniformity trial
prior to a long-term field experiment, especially for a new
crop. And he warner! the statistician, "It is not sufficient for
him Ethe statistician] to provide the best possible clesign to
suit the size of the experiment; it is also his duty to acivise
whether he thinks the experiment as clesignecI is worth
cloing, or whether it should be postponed until more re-
sources are available" ~ ~ 939a, p. ~ 061.
With Gertrude Cox (1946a), he summarized the principal
sources of variation in greenhouse experimentation (temper-
ature, moisture, and shading gradients) and major designs
~c Luau eo~ for such sometimes nearly overwhelming
variables. Curiously, in 1946 they reported that they had no
information about the possible benefits of moving pots
around, although this is one advantage of the greenhouse
over fielcI conditions.
His article in the International Encyclopedia of Statistics
(197Sb) on experimental design contains an instructive post-
script on the rise of the use of experiments in the social sci-
ences and the encouragement given to this movement by the
Social Science Research Council. That postscript relates more
generally to his stucly (1976) of the history of experimenta-
tion. After introducing us to Arthur Young's total intolerance
for any method but comparative experiments, Cochran notes
(1976, p. 5), "This issue persists today. In reviewing the pres-
ent state of knowledge about the relative merits of two ther-
apies for hospitalizect patients, we may finct a few well-
controlled experiments and a larger number of doctor's
observations on their experiences with one or the other ther-
apy. Young wouIc! seem to suggest that to consider the latter
group is a waste of time."
Cochran used the history article to include a little instruc

tion on experimental design, as well as to get in a few licks
about some consulting problems he tract su~erecl. He sug-
gested that most consulting statisticians will have had expe-
rience with an investigator who begins "'I want to do an ex-
periment to show that....' He knows the answer." Cochran
user! this remark as a springboard to discuss double-blind
experiments. In a similar aside, Cochran used James John-
ston's book on agricultures to make an aclctitional point. After
describing Tohnston's position that a bad investigation wastes
money and leads to incorrect results in standard! textbooks,
as well as to the neglect of further research, Cochran said
(1976, p. 9), "I have hear(1 this point made recently with re-
gard to medical experiments on seriously ill patients, where
there is often a question for the doctor if it is ethical to con-
duct an experiment, but from the broader view-point fit is]
a question of whether it is ethical not to conduct experi-
Cochran used history to console the young scholar. Upon
recalling that after Student's t tables had been available for
fourteen years anti practically no one used them, he said,
"Young research workers who feel that the world is very slow
to appreciate their results might be heartened by this ex-
ample. The world is indeec! a little slow at times to realize
how brilliant we are" (1976, pp. 13-141. He sums up the
history of statistics in agriculture by saying that it took a cen-
tury to take two major steps: (~) to begin applying probability
theory (already available in astronomy) to interpret quanti-
tative experiments and (2) to establish efficient practical
methods for the concluct of field experiments.
Bioassay. A sequence of papers (three with Miles Davis:
1963 1964, 1965a; and 1973) reported on Cochran anti Dav

for Future Experiments in Scientific and Practical Agriculture (Edinburgh: W. Blackwood
and Sons, 1849).

is's studies of bioassay, where the investigator wants to find
the LD50, the dosage that kills 50 percent of the animals or
insects. They stucliect sequential approaches using a grid of
dosages. Animals are tested at an initial close, ant! the out-
come at that dose guides the choice of the next close up or
clown. In one version, if the first close kills, the second close
is one step smaller; if it does not, the next animal gets a close
one step higher. This process continues. They recommendec!
a two-stage approach. The first stage uses few animals with
large steps until it locates a reversal, and the second stage
uses the Robbins-Munro method with smaller steps.
Clinical Trials. His papers on the design of clinical trials
(1961a, 1977b) had a rather general nature. In the first
(1961a), he emphasized heavily the value of precise protocol,
power, blindness, randomization, and design. The biostatis-
tician of the ~ 980s-with special survival analyses, sequential
designs, ant! balancing approaches-might be surprised,
even affronted, to react ~ ~ 96 ~ a, p. 7 ~ ): "The planning and
conduct of a clinical trial cloes not involve any difficult or
esoteric intellectual principles. It is mainly a matter of hare!
work anc! attention to detail."
The second paper (1977b) was a group effort focused on
surgical experiments in cluoclenal ulcer. Although Cochran
hac! suffered a substantial illness, he was essentially recov-
erecI, but he did not want to take on any extra tasks. Conse-
quently he refused to take part in a working group in the
Faculty Seminar on Health and Medicine at the Harvard
School of Public Health. But students and friends pleaded
with him to change his mincI, and in the end he chaired the
Working Group on Protocol Issues. After two years of dis-
cussions in depth of the principal experiments in surgery for
duodenal ulcer, the group proclucect a comprehensive list of
medical and statistical criteria for consideration in further
experiments. Most of the criteria have value for design, anal
OCR for page 60
ysis, anc! reporting of comparative medical investigations
generally, notjust for surgery for cluo(lenal ulcer. Again, care
and precision in protocol were emphasized. The lists cannot
be reproclucect here, but a remark on follow-up to obtain
information on nearly 100 percent of patients treated is
worth quoting (1977b, p. 1911: "A search produced few ref-
erences to available techniques for guarding against follow-
up tosses. There seems to be no substitute for determination."
They reported that at the Mayo Clinic high rates of follow-
up have been "achieved by writing letters ctirectly to patients
and not going through their doctors; if no reply is forth-
coming, the telephone is used. If the patient is not found, a
vigorous search is undertaken, inclucting use of bill-collecting
agencies, who apparently have experience with similar prob-
lems" (1977b, p. 191).
Observational Studies. Program arrangers often asked
Cochran to provide a substantial general paper on the con-
cluct of comparative studies intended to decicle causation. In
discussing the advantages of matching subjects or materials
as compared with the use of covariance adjustment in obser-
vational studies, he first notes! that the methods perform al-
most equally well. "A clifficulty which ~ have occasionally en-
counterec! with covariance is that some scientists have an
inborn suspicion of adjustments to the ciata, and although
the adjustments made in the covariance analysis are entirely
objective, they may finct a rather gruciging acceptance" ~1953,
p. 6871. (Although Cochran correctly stated that, given least
squares, the adjustment itself is objective, the decision to
make it usually is not; when many covariables are available,
many subsets can be selected. The suspicious scientist has a
right to some skepticism because an investigator couIcl adjust
for the subset that gave results most pleasing to him or her.
Nevertheless, when the covariables for adjustment are cho-
sen in advance of the investigation, the method is objective.)

rules for establishing strata boundaries by comparing them
empirically for several different forms of populations with
varying amounts of skewness. In 1962 he jointly authored,
with J. N. K. Rao and H. O. Hartley, a paper that proposed
a simple procedure for unequal probability sampling without
replacement. This approach hacI the advantages of simplicity
of calculation and the ability to provide unbiased estimates
of the variance of the estimators. This was a topic that re-
ceivec! considerable attention at the time, and a number of
different procedures were proposer! by various authors.
The problem of nonsampling errors in surveys is one that
has received extensive attention, and in 1968 Cochran pre-
parect a review paper and extenclect some of the earlier work
that had been done in this area. He concluded, as clo others,
that errors in measurement can sometimes seriously vitiate
most stanciard statistical techniques anti at other times have
only trivial effects clepencting on the size of the relevant
response variances ant! covariances. He adclec! that what
seems neecled at the present state of development of this area
are many studies that permit the estimation of these vari-
ances and covariances, and that most of these studies should
be embedcled in ongoing surveys. "When an 'errors of mea-
surement' stucly has to be conducted separately, as will some-
times be necessary because of the complexity of such studies,
it is always difficult to reproduce the working conditions of
an actual survey" (1968, p. 665~.
In "Laplace's Ratio Estimator" (1978a), Cochran took an
engaging historical tour. He reviewed the well-known esti-
mate made by Laplace in 1802 of the total population of
France. Laplace took a sample (by purposive sampling pro-
ceclures) of communes in France and persuacled the govern-
ment to have a population census taken in each of these.
Births were registered throughout France, and therefore
were known for each commune as well as the country as a
OCR for page 60
whole. He then estimated the total population of France with
the ratio estimator Y = Xy/x where X is the known total reg-
isterecI births, x is registered births for the sample communes,
and y is the total population for the sample communes. The
estimate was 28.4 million. L~aplace then estimated the stan-
ciard error of this estimate to be 108,000. In computing the
estimated sampling error, Laplace assumed that the birth
rate in each commune (and of course in all of France) was
the consequence of sampling births and population at ran-
dom with equal probability from the same urn, a finite su-
Cochran reported: "He found the large-sample ctistribu-
tion of his error of estimate to be approximately normal, with
a small bias and a variance that he calculates" (1978a, p. 31.
Cochran then points out that in computing the sampling~er-
ror Laplace failecI to recognize that the birth rates in the
sample and in all of France were not independent, ant! states
in a summary remark:
It is unfortunate that Laplace should have made a mistake in proba-
bility in a book on the theory of probabilities. In his application, however,
the mistake was of little consequence. His working out of the large-sample
distribution of the ratio estimator and his concept of the superpopulation
as a tool in studying estimates from samples are pioneering achievements.
(1978a, p. 10)
Cochran wrote a number of review papers related to
sample-survey topics (1938b, 1947, 1951, 1956) that pro-
vided lucid summaries of the state of the art at the time the
papers were written ant! gave acictitional interpretations. Of
course his textbook, Sampling Techniques, is a substantially
comprehensive summary, with extensions of theory to round
out topics and with reporting of empirical results to provide
better guidance on practical implications of some of the
methods. It is unctoubtedly the most wiclely used textbook in
OCR for page 60
teaching sample surveys, as is attested by the printing of sec-
ond and third editions in 1963 and 1977.
Cochran suggested that statisticians might profitably con-
duct a survey to finct out how scientists use statistical tech-
niques and how they are helped by them. He thinks it "might
be very illuminating to statisticians if it couIcT be carried out
despite the obvious difficulties. Statisticians are, ~ think,
rather quick to jump to conclusions about the kinds of prob-
lems which scientists in other fields are supposec! to face, anc!
about their presumer! uses and misuses of statistical methods
and ideas" ( 1952, pp. 334-351. Because he was writing in the
Annals of Mathematical Statistics, he probably felt he was speak
. . . .
sing only to the statisticians.
Having illustratecl Cochran's propensity for returning to
problems repeatecIly, we shall not review all the topics where
he carried on such a program. Instead we merely mention
that these incluclecI: (a) the problem of weighting to combine
results from several comparable experiments (for example,
when the effects in the different experiments did not neces-
sarily have the same true means or previsions and when pre-
cisions neeclec! to be estimated); (b) the problems associates!
with both qualitative ant! quantitative ctiscriminant functions;
(c) the use of covariates in experiments and observational
studies; (cI) the effect of errors of measurement on regres-
sion, analysis of variance, and the analysis of counted ciata;
anti (e) special analyses for detecting outliers, for handling
missing observations, for acIding or removing a variable in
regression, or for comparing scales of measurement.
Cochran was an exceptional teacher, beloved by his stu-
dents. He directed four dissertations at North Carolina,
fifteen at Johns Hopkins, ant! nineteen at Harvard. In acicli
OCR for page 60
tion he greatly influenced a large number of other students.
They recall his clarity, wit, willingness to help, and use of
practical examples culled from his experience. As one said,
Bill "pulled it all together in a way that made it fun to cal-
culate coefficients ant! to invert matrices. We wanted to do it
because Bill would have been clisappointect if we failed."
Bill had a great ability to get to the heart of any statistics
problem with virtually no time lost. He was succinct and clear
in his teaching and writing. He worked with his graduate
students to try to make them understand where the problem
formulation and inductive statistics enclect and the clecluctive
mathematics began. Bill displayer! the great knack for linking
the theoretical and the applied that Americans associate with
statisticians trained in the United Kingdom, and he was able
to explain complicatect statistical information to investiga-
tors in language they could unclerstancl. Consequently he
was a much sought-after consultant anct an excellent com-
mittee member or head. His calm fairness anct down-to
earth attitude assurer! attention to dealing with the core
Cochran limitecI his committee participation to the
amount of work he could hancIle. He chaired the committee
appointed by the American Statistical Association at the re-
quest of the National Academy of Sciences to review the Kin-
sey, Pomeroy, and Martin stucly of sexual behavior in the hu-
man male, work that resulted in a book (1954a). He served
as chairman of the Pane! of Statistical Consultants, U.S. Bu-
reau of the Census. He server! on the committee to consider
the effect of battery additives on the life of batteries, on the
Academy Committee to the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commis-
sion, and on the Committee on Epidemiology and Biometry
at the National Institutes of Health. The Subcommittee on
National Morbidity Survey of the U.S. National Committee
on Health Statistics, of which he was a member, submitted a
OCR for page 60
report to the Surgeon General that was the basis, with little
change, of the National Health Survey Act. A smoker, Bill
was the only statistician on the Surgeon General's Committee
on Smoking and Health.
Bill received many honors. He was at various times pres-
iclent of four major statistical organizations: the Institute of
Mathematical Statistics in 1946, the American Statistical As-
sociation in 1953, the Biometric Society (which he helpecI
found as a member of the organizing committee) in 1954-
55, ant! the International Statistical Institute in 1967-71. He
was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
in 1971 ant! to the National Academy of Sciences in 1974.
He was a fellow of the American Association for the Acivance
ment of Science; honorary fellow of the Royal Statistical So-
ciety; ant! Guggenheim fellow, 1964-65. He received the
Guy Medal of the Royal Statistical Society in 1936, the S. S.
Wilks Memorial Medal (American Statistical Association) in
1967, and the "Outstanding Statistician" Award (Chicago
Chapter, American Statistical Association) in 1974. He was
editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association from
1945 to 1950.
Personally, Bill was an unpretentious man with Scottish
wit and humor. He was a believer in the fellowship of man,
and one of the few things sure to elicit his anger was a bigoted
comment. Although he preferred to work by himself rather
than to collaborate with others, he was friencIly to everyone
and liked by all. He and his wife Betty, to the delight of col-
leagues anti students, entertained frequently, and enjoyed
square ciancing, theater, music, and travel. Hundreds of sta-
tisticians from far-flung places attended Bill's retirement clin-
ner in ~ 976.
The last several years of Bill's life were plagued with a
series of medical problems. Nonetheless, after his retirement
anc! his move to his Cape Cod home, he continued to travel,
OCR for page 60
to teach, and to write. He died in OrIeans, Massachusetts, on
March 29, 1980.

text: Elena Kagan's appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court is a shot in the dark. No one knows exactly what her thinking is on critical issues of the day. Kagan, never a judge, left no trail of opinions and rulings. As solicitor general, she represented the U.S. government's interests before the high court, so her arguments in that post are not truly reflective of her personal views. Her academic writings have been, well, academic. There was no good reason to oppose Kagan's nomination, so the Senate vote makes sense. She is smart and remarkably capable — the first woman dean of Harvard Law School, the first woman solicitor general. But we don't know her convictions on issues sure to come before the court, such as abortion, gay marriage and immigration. That's unnerving. Ever since the evisceration by Democrats of Robert Bork, Ronald Reagan's choice for the Supreme Court, candidates have stepped lightly through the Senate interrogation as if they were walking on hot coals. Kagan seems to have lived her life with this concern in mind, leaving no trace of controversy. She even backtracked from a 1995 article in which she called for judicial candidates to be more forthcoming about their views. High court nominees have been expert at evasion. Justice Samuel Alito, for example, promised to show restraint and went on to aggressively smash important precedents. Let's hope Kagan delivers no such nasty surprises.

"With Opting In, Amy Richards does an impressive job of showing just how many ways there are for modern women to make motherhood work for them. Richards powerfully reminds us that although these are seemingly isolated "domestic" negotiations, women open up the work-life balance not only for other women, but for men and for generations of young people to come."—Veronica Chambers, author of Having It All? Black Women and Success
"Opting In is a brave, rational, thoughtful book chock full of important information and ideas that every woman—married or not, mother or not—should make it her business to know and think about."—Cathi Hanauer, editor of The Bitch in the House
"To a world that either obsesses over children or excludes them, Amy Richards brings the revolutionary possibilities of shared intergenerational lives—not easy, mind you, but possible. If her example and writing had been around earlier, even I might have had children." —Gloria Steinem
"Amy Richards is always showing a new way forward for her generation of feminists and has done so once again with Opting In—a smart, savvy exploration of real-life, real-time motherhood that is sure to resonate."—Naomi Wolf
"Amy Richards is one of the few women in the country who can talk about the politics of mothering in a way that doesn't make me bored or irate. Opting In is intellectually rigorous, personally authentic, insightful, and brave—and frankly, how often can you say that about books on this subject? Richards is remarkably honest and thought-provoking, and her ideas stay with you long after you've put the book down. Read Opting In and challenge yourself about what you think and the decisions you're making, then talk about it not only with other women but with the men in your life as well." —Rosalind Wiseman, author of Queen Bees & Wannabees

Naturally, this sparked our interest. So we examined the movie scene, along with what we knew about the area. After some detective work, we narrowed it down to an abandoned runway left behind by the old Mitchel Field Air Corps base from WWII. So, we took my car and headed out in search of the EXACT filming location of one of the most famous scenes in movie history. We used reference points from the movie (such as a radio tower, water tower, tree lines, roads, etc.) to pinpoint the location. So, here they are above for all to enjoy.

Louis: 21st Nov 2009 - 03:04 GMTThe owner of the house used in the Godfather still owns it and lives in it to this day. There is a large sideyard/backyard that I believe was used in the movie. I know someone that owned the house directly across from this one and it can be seen in the movie. They lived there at the time of the shooting. I will ask if all of the outdoor scenes were filmed at that location. Louis: 21st Nov 2009 - 03:13 GMThttp://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Godfather,_The/Videos/?vxChannel=Fox+News+Local+-+Los+Angeles&vxClipId=2081_godfather-house_20090613_225213&video_title=Take+a+Tour+of+%22The+Godfather%22+Home&video_count=1 P: 15th Feb 2010 - 07:45 GMTThe Toll Booth scene was indeed shot at Mitchell Field. I had a summer job at the Navy Exchange-Mitchell Field, and we would go down and watch the filming during our lunch hour. It took them several days of filming to complete that brief scene. Unfortunately, I was so young at the time, I didn't even know who the actor was that played Sonny. J. Herzog: 16th Feb 2010 - 01:24 GMTIf you view the brief interview at http://www.superficialgallery.com/the-godfather-house/5100 you'll see that the home is owned by Edward Norton. You are right. The interview says a wall was built across the street to make the house look like it was in a fort. The yard is where the wedding was filmed also as well as the scene where the Godfather died. The interview answers a lot of questions. Melissa: 13th Apr 2010 - 17:58 GMTThe owner of the godfather house was my grandfather and they moved shortly after it was filmed. They currently do not live there so that information is false. Melissa: 13th Apr 2010 - 17:58 GMTThe owner of the godfather house was my grandfather and they moved shortly after it was filmed. They currently do not live there so that information is false. Majordobie: 19th Apr 2010 - 01:35 GMTThe interiors of the Godfather house were shot on a soundstage and were not the actual interiors of the house on Long Island. Also, the wall that was built on the road leading to the house was actually made of styrofoam. dallaslvr: 5th Dec 2010 - 05:56 GMTMelissa anon (ool-45730829.dyn.optonline.net): 29th Dec 2010 - 02:08 GMTThe house used as the Corleone Compound is on Longfellow Avenue in Staten Island. I am the UPS driver for that area. The Norton's have owned the house all this time. They are very nice people. Franny Wentzel: 27th Oct 2011 - 19:19 GMTRecovered article Godfather's Home staten island, ny - jack - Tuesday, August 8th, 2006 sorry about the last posting. here is a better shot of the house used for the film. in the movie there was a walled compound and a chain across the entrance, but i found only a street. here is an additional pic of the street sans wall and chain. Don: 7th Jul 2012 - 01:43 GMTI was at the site today (7/6/12), where the Toll Booths were built and "Sonny" was murdered. A large parking lot has been built, covering the runway on which Sonny drove to access the Toll Booths. Where the Toll Booths were constructed on the access road to the abandoned runway (at which was once Mitchell Field Army-Air Force Base), a very large mound of earth (over 10 feet high) is present, obscuring the spot and making visual recognition of landmarks impossible. All that remains of the original runway, is the extreme north-east corner, which is where Sonny would have driven to had he not made the left turn to the Toll Booths. I accessed the site by riding my bicycle along the eastern perimeter of the campus, on Perimeter Road, just south of where it intersects with Endo Drive. Just south of Endo Drive, is a dirt road on the west side of Perimeter Road, which inclines up to the northeast corner of the remaining runway. Sonny's approach was directly in front of where I was standing, now obscured by the man-made hill covering the access road to the Toll Booths. I told the story of the filming site to two young construction workers nearby, who actually appreciated my sharing of this nostalgic information!
